Website Introduction to the Problem User experience and user interface design, or UX and UI for short, may be difficult for some designers with experience only in static design (print advertising, magazine layout, and pagination design); however, by examining other fields that successfully employ UX/UI design, such as system and videogame design, designers can identify the following successful principles of UX/UI design: • The user should not have to stop and think about how to do something. • The interaction between the user and the medium should be natural and intuitive. • The user/interface operations must be consistent throughout all areas of the UX/UI. REMEDIATION IS THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH THE CHARACTERISTICS AND APPROACHES OF COMPETING MEDIA ARE IMITATED, ALTERED, AND CRITIQUED IN a new medium… (or) the REPRESENTATION OF ONE MEDIUM IN ANOTHER - Meredith Davis History The field of UX/UI design has been around since the late 1940s C.E. in regards to human factors and ergonomics, which focuses on the interaction between human users, machines, and environments. There are many key factors to understanding UI and how it can enable a favorable UX, but most are centered on principles such as defining interaction patterns, incorporating user needs, featuring information that is important to the user, and making the interface intuitive by building behaviors like drag-and- drop, selections, mouse-over actions, buttons, and so on. Although many techniques can be employed to provide a positive UX, most of these principles primarily focus on the UI utilizing remediation to foster user accessibility, interaction, and familiarity. concept map Communication Strategy COMMUNICATION GOALS To develop a easily accessible, interactive tool, and informative toolbox that illustrates the capabilities of remediation to help achieve the following three principles in UX/UI design: • The user should not have to stop and think about how to do something. • The interaction between the user and the medium should be natural and intuitive. • The user/interface operations must be consistent throughout all areas of the UX/UI. TARGET AUDIENCE AND GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE The target audience for this design project is new media and website designers, that are both male and female, ages 22 to 40 years of age, United states of America citizens or foreign nationals, and that are employed in the areas of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design.

  • Adapting Epic Theatre Principles for the Design of Games for Learning
    Adapting Epic Theatre Principles for the Design of Games for Learning April Tyack Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Peta Wyeth Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Brisbane, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT Educational games are primarily developed for use in formal education, which limits both their typical audience and the subject matter they may address. This paper presents recommendations for designing games for learning to be played outside the context of formal education, which explore the ways complex systems influence real human lives. Existing work from within the field and epic theatre principles form the basis for these guidelines. In this framework, the context of educational game play is considered alongside game content as essential to encouraging reflective play behaviour. Educational aims are made explicit throughout game involvement, and each aspect of the game directly contributes to stimulating reflection on the topics at hand. Complex subject matter — for example, the ways systems such as economics affect players in real life — may be fruitfully explored using this approach. Keywords video games, game design, epic theatre, learning INTRODUCTION Play in Education Learning and play have long been interconnected concepts. Developmentally, children learn through exploration, experimentation, and play (Forman and Hill 1981), as knowledge is actively constructed and reconstructed through direct interaction within the environment (Bee and Boyd 2010). Play in general — activity that is intrinsically motivating, freely chosen, process-oriented and enjoyable (Johnson et al. 1987) — typically aligns with play in videogames. Therefore, the continued attempts of videogames to harness the learning potential of play are hardly surprising.

  • Rickey Family History NUMBER 1 •Y Spring 1990
    Rickey Family History NUMBER 1 •y Spring 1990 This is the initial issue of RICKEY ROOTS AND REVELS, the official Newsletter of the RICKEY FAMILY ASSOCIATION. Our goal is to reach out and assist all who are tracing the several RICKEY FAMILIES in America, to serve as a focal point and data exchange medium for independent researchers, and especially to introduce and reintroduce widespread RICKEY COUSINS to one another. We are all part of a large extended RICKEY FAMILY — cousins by the dozens that share blood lines and a common heritage. It's high time we all got acquainted with our RICKEY ROOTS — and maybe we'll experience a few laughs at a RICKEY REVEL (or two) along the way! In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage. To know who we are — and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is the most disquieting loneliness. Alex Haley in ROOTS, pub by Doubleday * Co. The saga of our RICKEY FAMILY HISTORY and their westward migration from the Eastern Seaboard into the Wilderness and across the Great Plains to the Pacific Coast is a fascinating one. This is a story that needs telling, both for us and RICKEY generations to follow. Search your "family archives" for those long- forgotten items and anecdotes that tell about your pioneer grandparents' lifestyle. We hope that you will join with others in furnishing data for publication in future issues of this Newsletter. We would like to include Family Bible records, marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, old photographs (with or without identification), county court records (deeds, probate settlements, wills), tombstone recordings, biographical sketches, oral history interviews, newspaper obituaries (word-for- word), military and pension data, church items, school graduations, etc.

  • Een Analyse Van Het Online Platform Humble Bundle
    BACHELOR EINDWERSTUK: EEN ANALYSE VAN HET ONLINE PLATFORM HUMBLE BUNDLE Robert Smit 4125657 Begeleider dr. R. Dolphijn Voor de pre-master cursus BA-eindwerkstuk Universiteit Utrecht 2014 SAMENVATTING Humble Bundle is een web-native platform dat online gamebundels verkoopt en distribueert. Functioneel vertoont het overeenkomsten met de ideologie van de indiegame industrie. Zo ontstaat er een netwerk waarin gameontwikkelaars de marketing in eigen handen houden om zo de autonomie van de artiest te kunnen waarborgen. Daarbij zorgt de toevoeging van het pay-what-you-want model ervoor dat de prijs van de bundels gemeenschappelijk bepaald wordt in plaats van opgelegd. Door de affordances van het platform te analyseren komen ook de economische bedoelingen van het platform naar voren. Zo wordt er door middel van een prijsvoorstel en de koppeling met een goed doel nagestreefd om de uitgave van de gamer te maximaliseren. De verdeling van de besteding staat bij aanvang zo ingesteld dat Humble Bundle procentueel het grootste deel krijgt. Het platform is zo ontworpen dat het zelf winst kan maken als tussenpersoon tussen de partijen op te treden. Dit wordt onderstreept doordat het gebruik van het platform leidt tot een gecentraliseerd netwerk waarin gebruikers, op basis van hun positie in het netwerk, soortgelijke beslissingen nemen. Daarnaast vormen positieve PR en goodwill de immateriële opbrengst van het gebruik van Humble Bundle. De koppeling met de ideologie van de indiegame industrie spreekt zo een specifieke doelgroep aan en de opbrengsten van het platform worden beïnvloed door de affordances.

  • Organ Trail Play Oregon Trail Online Free No Download Pros & Cons of Traveling West on the Oregon Trail
    organ trail play oregon trail online free no download Pros & Cons of Traveling West on the Oregon Trail. The Oregon Trail was an east-to-west wagon route first established by fur traders in the 1830s. It was not until after the Civil War that it became a bustling internal immigration route for American pioneers. The trail, if followed all the way to the end, was more than 2,000 miles long and could take around six months for a covered wagon with four horses to complete. Explore this article. 1 Pro: Established Route. The biggest pro in favor of taking the Oregon Trail was that it was an established route with many other pioneers taking it. If your wagon broke an axle, there was someone else with a spare you could barter for. If you ran short on food, there was an outpost along the way with extra supplies. In addition, your guide did not need to be exceptionally skilled as all you had to do was follow the dirt track, thus lessening the chance of getting lost. 2 Pro: Army Protection. The United States actively encouraged the settlement of the West. This was done both with the Homestead Act and by establishing Army forts along the path to protect the pioneers. The forts provided not just safe havens to rest and repair but also housed cavalry detachments. These mounted units would patrol the trail and establish a semblance of law and order. Because the Western states were still territories, the U.S. Army did not violate the Posse Comitatus Act by patrolling this region.

  • Nostalgia,Ode a Sega Dreamcast,Divertimento E
    NOstalgia Una delle notizie più importanti della settimana è sicuramente la line-up dei venti giochi annunciati per PlayStation Classic: una serie di titoli che, nella comunità videoludica, ha lasciato più dubbi che certezze, soprattutto in base all’elevato costo del prodotto (100€ tondi tondi). Ma andiamo ad analizzarli uno per uno: Battle Arena Toshinden: è il primo picchiaduro 3D uscito per la console di casaSony . All’epoca generò anche un piccolo interesse (addirittura la rivista Game Power gli diede un pazzesco 105/100!), ma diciamo la verità: era brutto allora, ed è incredibilmente brutto dopo più di vent’anni dalla sua uscita, soprattutto se paragonato aTekken , che uscì poco dopo. Avrei preferito molto di più Soul Edge, la base dell’odierno Soul Calibur. Cool Boarders 2: il migliore della serie, con molta probabilità… però, se proprio dovevamo buttarci sugli sport estremi, non era meglio unTony Hawk’s Pro Skater, titolo molto più iconico? Destruction Derby: qua non ho niente da dire. Anche se, preferisco il seguito che migliora le buone cose viste nel predecessore. Però una buona scelta, nel complesso. Final Fantasy VII: capisco enormemente il valore storico di questo titolo perPlayStation . D’altronde, è stato il primo della serie “sbarcato” sulla console Sony dopo anni sulle console Nintendo… però, con un remake in arrivo (ok, non si sa quando, arriverà) avrei preferito una scelta più traversale come un Suikoden II o un Legend of Dragoon. Però, ripeto, capisco la sua presenza. Grand Theft Auto: Rockstar lo rese abandonware su PC anni fa, insieme al secondo. Scelta illogica sotto ogni punto di vista, anche perché si parla di un titolo che nasce e diventa di culto su PC, per poi esplodere del tutto solamente col passaggio alla terza dimensione su PlayStation 2.

When a class has been cancelled due to instructor illness or weather conditions, a class will be added on at the end of the session. If this is not possible, you will be issued a refund in the amount of the missed class.
